According to the error it gives, it seems that you have to create a specific type of wallet in bitcoin core, but in what way would it be?
Create a non descriptor wallet. Add "false" at the end of your import command to avoid a re-scan. You only need a re-scan after the last import.

Perfect, it was just what I wanted and it works perfectly. It has been a great help to me. Thank you so much!!!

But if I do it the way you indicate, the transaction records contained in the electrum wallet in bitcoin core will not appear.

Importing only one address is because I thought it would be easier, but I don't care about importing the entire wallet. Whatever is easiest to do.

It is a wallet that has different addresses. When exporting the privatekeys, the different addresses with their respective privatekeys appear. I just want to import a private key.

It is necessary to import the wallet because I need the bitcoin core wallet to have the records of the electrum wallet transactions.

I'm trying to import an electrum hd wallet into bitcoin core with the transaction logs included. I need to import a single address or the entire wallet, whichever is easier to do. I don't want to send funds from electrum wallet to bitcoin core wallet.

I have tried to follow the procedure in this link but it does not work for me.

Code:
bitcoin-cli importprivkey "privatekey" "fromelectrum"
error code: -4
error message:
This type of wallet does not support this command

According to the error it gives, it seems that you have to create a specific type of wallet in bitcoin core, but in what way would it be?

Bitcoin Core v23.2

We create the wallet without a descriptor

Code:
bitcoin-cli -named createwallet wallet_name="fromelectrum" descriptors=false

We import the privatekey

Code:
bitcoin-cli importprivkey "privatekey"

Thanks to Knight Hider!!!

Importing from electrum to bitcoin core doesn't work for me.

Code:
bitcoin-cli importprivkey "privatekey" "fromelectrum"
error code: -4
error message:

Bitcoin Core v23.2

I suppose it is because a specific wallet has to be created in bitcoin core, but I don't know how.
